New York, NY (September 25, 2026) – Today, one of Australia’s favorite alternative exports, Stand Atlantic, shares the soaring new rock single, “NEXT2U,” out today via Virgin Music Group. The single is the last to be unveiled from their forthcoming new studio album GODBREATH, to be released on Friday October 23rd.

“NEXT2U” is a love song for your chosen families, the unbreakable friendships that keep you going no matter where you are in the world. The track’s themes of homesickness and intimate longing ride earworm melodies that have come to shape the blueprint of GODBREATH, meanwhile balancing this vulnerability with heavy drums and grizzly guitars that build to a euphoric, anthem-worthy release.

Re-contextualising the love song into a ballad for your closest people, vocalist and singer/songwriter Bonnie Fraser says: “This is definitely a love song but there’s also lots of references to being away from home and far from people that make you feel good. We’re so lucky to tour the world with our best friends but this is an ode to the people back home that you still miss. Sometimes it’s hard to stay present because you want to be somewhere else. ‘NEXTU’ is a love song you can send to your homies.”

A crowd-ready anthem, “NEXT2U” arrives ahead of a busy stretch on the road for Stand Atlantic, beginning with an Australian headline tour this October and November. The band will then return to the US, appearing at Vans Warped Tour in Orlando before joining Story of the Year and Silverstein for a run of dates beginning November 16 in Seattle and hitting Los Angeles, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and more. Stand Atlantic will also support Simple Plan for select UK arena shows this fall. Tickets are on sale now at standatlantic.com/tour.

GODBREATH, Stand Atlantic’s forthcoming fifth album, sees the band venture into uncharted waters while getting closer to home. From Fraser’s uncompromising, stream-of-consciousness songwriting to the symbiotic musicianship captured through live tracking, the album pulls from turn-of-the-century pop-rock and modern pop-punk. Already previewed by “Velcro,” “LUCID,” and “EDGE OF VEGAS,” GODBREATH finds the band pushing beyond their comfort zone while connecting with their truest selves.

Over more than a decade together, Stand Atlantic has grown into one of Australia’s most successful contemporary alternative exports, selling out headline shows and tens of thousands of tickets across Australia, the UK, Europe, US, and more. They’ve supported the likes of Sum 41, MOD SUN, A Day To Remember and I Prevail, while appearing at festivals around the globe including Spilt Milk, Good Things, Reading & Leeds, Vans Warped Tour, Slam Dunk and many more.

Since their breakout 2017 EP Sidewinder, the four-piece have released four studio albums, built a global fanbase and amassed more than 500M streams across their catalog. Named one of the world’s “Hottest Rock Artists” by Kerrang!, they’ve earned Feature Album, #1 Most Played and Album of the Weekend honors across triple j and BBC Radio 1, while charting on Billboard, the UK Top 200 and ARIA Top 10. Their ARIA-Platinum single “Deathwish” feat. nothing,nowhere. has surpassed 57M streams.
